howto export a WAR file for deployment?

[d.foerster]

If your readme.txt (i.e. developers.google.com) says to
create a *Java* project in eclipse
how do you deploy a SmartGWT project to a web container/production server?

Eclipse only offers a WAR file export for projects of type *Web* !

[And as I informed you in my first post here
the ant build file doesn't work either: 'ant war']

I'm using SmartClient v10.0p_2015-04-01/EVAL Deployment (expires 2015.05.31_06.33.21),
Firefox 36.0.4 for ubuntu,
Eclipse 4.4 Luna.

now proect 'builtinds' cannot even be run: Validation hangs

Ok, the forum showed me one solution which gives me worse problems.

First, to enable Eclipse's WAR export
you can open the imported smartgwt sample project's Properties
choose 'Project Facets' tab
click 'convert to faceted form...'
check 'Dynamic Web Project' and click on 'i: Further configuration...'
, change the "Content Directory" to 'war' ( I guess...)
click OK.

After this my built-in-ds project did not run any more
because it hung on Validation (I guess on 20 errors like:
Description: Can not find the tag library descriptor for "/WEB-INF/iscTaglib.xml"
Resource Path Location Type: index.jsp /built-in-ds/war/builtinds/tools/visualBuilder line 1 JSP Problem
)

I cancelled this run-operation
and tried again --> all worked..... even the WAR file export

run works again -- deploy FAILS

--- just why are you putting Servlet.class into gwt-dev.jar ?
